You are probably correct (in respect to the vote), and if Unix/Linux had remained the sole province of Unix geeks (like us on this list) then it probably wouldn't matter very much; but I bet that Mandrake is hoping to sell to the general consumer, and corporations as well, after all they probably don't have a hope in hell of selling to most of us on *this* list. -- John Allen, Email: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] MandrakeClub Silver Member.
